The title does not really interest me. It seems a little empty but it's reasonable as it fits with the story- it's basically how the two met. So well done for that. Also, the title seems unprofessional as only the first word has an uppercase letter. The title should have been written like this: The Sound of the Rain. The reason why of and the in the title are lowercased is because the is an article while of is a preposition. Of course, the The in the beginning of the title is written with an uppercase letter because it's the start of the title.

DESCRIPTION / FOREWORD
The reason why I brought your mark down to a 5 is because of the tense. Your tenses are all over the place. I get what you are trying to portray for your readers but you need to proof read your work as well. The description is too simple and it does not bring in readers' attention. You need to grab their attention; make them read more. Also, it's quite obvious that the town you are describing is pretty rainy but which towns, cities, countries, etc don't have rainy days? I know what you are trying to say but in the description, it sounds like you're saying it's a curse/blessing but if you're supposed to make it sound like that, then well done. Some information in the description is also irrelevant such as the part where you have written down that the story of the two people are gonna be written. Obviously, you're gonna write about their journey together. Here is the revised version of your description: This is a story about how two people meet in a small town after one rainy day. That's pretty much it. It's shorter than the original one but you can always do some touch-ups. Also, regarding with your foreword, I actually like it, however, there are still mistakes that can be spotted. A quick tip for the near future is if you type in stuff in your description and foreword, you must type it in present tense. Have you ever seen books where the description of the story (usually found on the back of the book) are written in past tense? No. So don't forget this for next time. Heck, you can write in past tense for your stories but never for descriptions and forewords. I like how you introduced the characters in the foreword as well. It gives us a bit of an insight to what the characters may be like in the story. Do make sure though to proof read it all. If you are not strong with your english, ask a trusted adult/friend to proof read your work for you or you can ask for a good beta reader to do them for you (you can find a beta reader in multiple shops- not all of the review shops have them though). Also, stick with darker font colors as some of the lighter ones actually hurt my eyes and I'm sure it hurts others' eyes as well.
